• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: That argument is misplaced and does not hold water because couples have a right to have children, to be like any of us, be in a position to have children and procreate like the rest of us. We have enough resources but we are selfish, we do not use them strategically to support the most marginalized in the community. If in Kenya we lose about Kshs 2billion every day through corruption, how can you argue that we do not have enough money available to assist the very vulnerable members of our society? view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really respect Hon. Omulele’s point of order on this and it will not be easy for me to substantiate the obvious at this particular minute. I, graciously withdraw for the sake of enabling me to continue. view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: I still strongly believe we have enough resources to invest in this health care need for the most vulnerable members of our society. I have passion for this because many years back when I was in the university I had a friend who did not have a child. After many years I remember visiting the USA - which I do often - and I was told she had a problem. After using ART, today she has two beautiful girls in senior high school in the USA. It is possible and doable. I think our women and men who have these ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. This is a constitutional moment. It is the first time the House is debating a Bill through a popular initiative. Everything considered, this is a good Bill that will enable our country to grow to greater heights. There are critical issues that this Bill is trying to resolve, among them, divisive politics, promotion of gender equity and governance, strengthening the structure of devolution, increasing funding to our devolved units, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: and enabling sharing power to promote national unity and cohesion. It further strengthens accountability in our public resources and enables us to fight corruption. Article 11(a) on economy and shared prosperity anchors the aspiration of the new economic model based on value creation. It further provides equitable opportunities for all people, promote industrialisation and support small and micro enterprise development. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: On national cohesion and inclusivity, this Bill tries to unite Kenyans to be a more inclusive society. We are a diverse society and we should celebrate it and enable further inclusion. We still recall the post-election violence of 2007/2008 when we almost lost Kenya. In 2008, the 10th Parliament that I was a Member, amended the Constitution and enabled the National Accord to become a reality. During the period of the National Accord, we had relative peace, our economy prospered and most profoundly, we ushered in a new constitutional order by promulgating the 2010 Constitution. This was after decades of ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I am not. The new allocation will further strengthen devolution and ensure good governance in our counties. I have a serious problem with the issue of the capping principle, which reads: “The average amount of money allocated per person to a county with the highest allocation does not exceed three times the average amount per person allocated to a county with the lowest allocation” Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a deliberate design by this proposal to marginalise poor counties that have been historically poor such as Mandera, Marsabit, Lamu and Isiolo, among others. On representation, this Bill seeks to ... view

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I am, Hon. Speaker. It is just that my card is not working. I want to join my colleagues in appreciating the Motion. We are undergoing very challenging times. As leaders of this nation, we have a duty to ensure that we assist in all ways we can for our nation to overcome this serious pandemic. Hon. Speaker, I also want to join my The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: colleagues in appreciating both you and the Leader of the Majority Party for the guidance you have provided to this House today. As a ranking Member of the House, I know the powers and role of the House in this nation. Most of us felt that we were being dictated to by the Executive on how to conduct our business. However, under your leadership and that of the Leader of the Majority Party, you made it very clear that we work and complement other arms of Government. But like the Judiciary, we are independent. In particular, under this Constitution, our ... view
